PNNA 2nd Q Nor’wester convention edition

The 2nd Quarter 2014 convention special edition of the PNNA’s publication, The Nor’wester, is available online at http://www.pnna.org/news/pdf/PNNAnews2014_Q2.pdf. If you are a current PNNA member (or were a member in 2013) you should have received a paper copy of this issue along with your PNNA election ballot for the 2014-2016 term, even if you normally subscribe to the online-only option.

This special 16-page edition of The Nor’wester includes eight color pages, with a cover design by ANACS, which will again accept submissions for certification and grading at this year’s PNNA convention in Tukwila, May 2-4, 2014. Inside you’ll also find the PNNA president’s and convention chairman’s messages, information about the exciting Portlandia medal designed for the 2015 ANA National Money Show in Portland, other PNNA and ANA information, and coin dealer advertisements.

Back issues of The Nor’wester are available – see the Nor’wester Online page.

Once again, thanks for your interest in the PNNA, and we’ll see you in Tukwila!

Sincerely,
Eric Holcomb
PNNA Editor/Webmaster

PNNA Convention report and photos

Thanks to everyone who helped make this year’s PNNA Convention in Tukwila a big success, with attendance once again over 1,000 and strong activity despite an unexpected drop in bullion prices on the opening day of the show.

See the history page for conventions & coin shows for information about how to access past convention reports, including overall convention reports, awards and exhibits, and memorabilia.

PNNA Annual Convention and Nor’wester news

Greetings!

The 2nd Quarter 2013 edition of the PNNA’s publication, The Nor’wester, is available online at http://www.pnna.org/news/pdf/PNNAnews2013_Q2.pdf, and free black-and-white paper copies will be available at the PNNA convention. Back issues are also available online.

Thank you again for your interest in the PNNA, and I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming (April 12-14) annual PNNA convention in Tukwila, Washington! Please note there has been a change in the convention keynote speaker … it will now be ANA V.P. Walt Ostromecki instead of ANA Executive Director Jeff Shevlin. The time is 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Walt won’t be speaking about the ANA (as Jeff had planned), but he will give an interesting and entertaining talk about “dumb coins.”

As a reminder, if you signed up for a free PNNA membership at a convention in the past couple years, you need to attend this year’s spring or fall convention and fill out a new free membership form to continue your free membership.
